In the new work, Rothemund and his colleagues used DNA origami to create a lilypad-like structure—a flat, circular surface about 100 nanometers in diameter, tethered by a DNA linker to a gold ...

Engineers have created a configurable robot that can transform into various structures, which has potential applications for ...

The system consists of a DNA origami structure, out of which a single-stranded DNA protrudes, which has been labeled with fluorescent dye at its tip.

Researchers are using the geometry of paper folding to come up with futuristic antennas that can retract and compress.

New software speeds origami structure designs. Georgia Institute of Technology. Funder National Science Foundation DOI 10.1098/rspa.2017.0348. Keywords /Applied sciences and engineering ...

This origami structure, called “Green Cycles,” by Erik Demaine and his father Martin required a week of improvisation to assemble. Credit: Renwick Gallery The shape of a Pringle ...

The approach works because the origami structure is inherently overconstrained. The researchers achieve a simpler design by removing certain panels, all while preserving the structure's functionality.

In its unfolded flat state, our origami structure tumbles chaotically in the wind, similar to an elm leaf. But switching to the folded state changes the airflow around it and enables a stable ...
